    Hey all, I'm looking for some help deciding on some specs between Vaio F11's.

    I'll be doing a lot of programming, and graphic design so I thought the F11 would be a good choice, given its specs and screen real estate. I'd also like to be able to play games with my friends when we hang out, but I don't think I have a need for anything too graphic intensive.

    As of now, I'm trying to decide between a CTO and the BestBuy Model.

    The BestBuy Model is here:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+...05382&id=1218154378383#tabbed-customerreviews

    My CTO's Specs would basically be the same except for a 7200rpm 500gb hd, and a i7-820M.

    How much more noticeable would the i7-820M vs the 720M? Should I CTO or just get the laptop from BB?

    any help is much appreciated.
